Shot a 86 @ Emies Muni in Davenport, IA. Winter took it's toll on the "feel" shots, but all and all not disapointed one bit. It's been a long time to be able to enjoy the outdoors in this part of the country, so I took solice in that. Gentle winds, low 60's, grass was suprisingly green through out the course considering all the snow/rain this winter. Just a great day to be out. Birdied the last hole, so I got to leave the course on a high note. Only complaint is Emies raises their prices ever year, and not by small amounts, it went up 3 to walk plus 2 on the cart. They need to chill out and remember that there a public course

85 on Friday and 89 on Saturday. Struggling off of the tee. Not sure what i shot my other two rounds as I didn't keep score....but it was terrible.

Played my first official 9-hole round this year.

36 - (5 pars, 2 birdies, 2 bogies)

16 putts
4 fairways (57%)
5 greens (55%)

Was very happy with my iron play and ball striking. Driving was adequate although nothing felt completely solid (2 wayward drives left me no opportunity to hit these greens in regulation). Short game left little to be desired (up-n-down percentage was a whopping 33% - 1 for 3).

Overall I was very encouraged. Going from a combo set to all blades and changing shafts from PX 6.0 to Rifle 6.5's hopefully will payoff!

If you hit every green in regulation and had 22 putts you would shoot 40…..something ain't adding up…..

Finally had a day when the wind wasn't blowing yesterday and thought it would be an easy day, however shot 46-48. Perhaps I score better when I have the wind to help me. That did it, I'm moving to West Texas.

    • This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score
    • Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage.

    • Things that I am or have worked on... 1.    Trail Elbow - Check 2.    Hip Turn - Check 3.    Rolled Inside - Check 4.    Wide Takeaway - Check 5.    Sway and Tilt - Nope, but I did a hip turn and tilt 🤣 I am giving myself 4.5/5 for my long backswing.  Great post! 
    • We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
